Levels of Chemical Toxicants in Waterpipe Tobacco and Waterpipe Charcoal Solid Waste.

This work provides insights on waterpipe tobacco and waterpipe charcoal as potential sources of environmental toxicants. Selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) from ten U.S.

Aquatic toxicity of waterpipe wastewater chemicals.

Introduction: The recent increase in U.S. popularity and use prevalence of water pipe (WP) tobacco smoking raises concerns about the potential environmental impacts of WP waste disposal and the need for strategies to reduce such impacts.

Testing of a commercial waterpipe electric heater and a research-grade waterpipe electric heater.

Introduction: The capability of a commercial waterpipe electric heater to simulate the waterpipe charcoal heating system using waterpipe tobacco consumption as a metric was evaluated, and a research-grade waterpipe electric heater to standardize waterpipe tobacco emission testing was designed.

Methods: The experiment was conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, tobacco was heated using either charcoal or a commercial electric heater.
